 Description: 

The Arthur Wright & Son Senator Whiskey Barrel Oak Wood is a premium, handmade slipjoint pocket knife from Arthur Wright & Sons, a family-owned Sheffield, England-based cutlery maker with over a century of tradition.

This exclusive "Senator" model features a classic gentleman's design with a single Lambfoot blade, ideal for everyday carry, utility tasks, or as a collector's piece.

The handle scales are crafted from sustainably sourced oak wood recycled from whiskey barrels, offering a unique, warm aesthetic with natural variations in grain and color from the barrel aging process. The knife embodies traditional Sheffield craftsmanship, including a hand-filed "chased" backspring for an attractive flowing pattern, milled brass liners for enhanced grip and durability, and nickel silver bolsters for a polished finish.

Made with C70 carbon steel for superior sharpness, it's UK-legal (non-locking blade under 3 inches) and requires regular oiling to prevent rust. It's valued for its heirloom quality and practical functionality, especially considering these knives can take up to 1 year to receive from initial order. (We deliver within 3 working days)

Performance and User Feedback

Pros: Reviewers commend the knife's razor-sharp factory edge, strong snap from the chased backspring, and comfortable ergonomic grip from the whiskey barrel oak scales, which develop a patina over time. The handmade details, like the milled liners and flowing file work, add to its appeal as a "practical working knife" or special gift. Users appreciate its balance for tasks like food prep or light cutting, with one video review calling it "SO SPECIAL" for its Sheffield heritage and affordability.

Cons: Carbon steel requires maintenance to avoid rust, and the natural oak variations may result in asymmetrical scales. Some note minor fit inconsistencies in handmade batches, though these don't affect functionality.

Use Case Example: Suited for EDC or as a gentleman's knife; collectors value the whiskey barrel oak for its unique story, while practical users find it reliable for daily chores without being overly flashy.

Average ratings from similar models: 4–5/5 in videos and forums.
